Top 10 Road Trip Movies

"Bonnie and Clyde" is one of the most important movies ever made, but the film's most remarkable feature isn't its excellent casting, cinematography or still-shocking ending -- it's the journey itself. Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker are on the run from the law, and through a series of increasingly bold bank stickups, the duo find fame, notoriety and companionship. They live on the road, traveling from hideout to hideout, trying to elude the law while taking from the banks in Depression-era America. "Bonnie and Clyde" is one of those rare films that's as emotional as it is entertaining. But it's one trip you wouldn't want to take yourself.

Breaking the Code

In 1934, Hollywood began rigidly adhering to a self-enforced code that set guidelines for what could and could not be shown on film. Movies could not, among other things, glorify criminal behavior, glamorize violence or impugn the sanctity of marriage. The code was enforced until 1968, and "Bonnie and Clyde" is credited as one of the films that led to its demise.
